About Mallerie
Mallerie Berwick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of experience. She practices in Florida and helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. Her background includes work in independent practice and substance abuse treatment settings.
She uses straightforward, practical methods and aims to build a trusting rapport in sessions. She has supported people with obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic attacks, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder challenges, and substance-related difficulties. She also works with concerns such as low self-esteem, attachment issues, codependency, and communication problems.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on skills that can be used between meetings to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Mallerie draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. She also uses acceptance-based methods to help people live in line with their values despite uncomfortable feelings.
Relationship-focused approaches guide work on communication and emotional connection when interpersonal problems are present. Her style is empathetic and interactive. She prioritizes building a strong working relationship and involves clients in setting goals and tracking progress.
People can expect clear suggestions, practical exercises, and supportive feedback aimed at realistic change. Therapy can include short-term skill-building or longer-term work on persistent patterns. Mallerie can use phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging to meet people where they are.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting trapped by them, then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and attachment in relationships, helping people improve communication and deepen emotional connection when relationship stress is present.Choosing the right method is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills practice, acceptance strategies, or relationship-focused work and then adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share between sessions and fit therapy into busy days. These options make it simpler to keep momentum and use therapy in real time around life commitments.
